Why are people mean?

Because they are feeling hurt?

Because they are sad?

Because they are mad?

Because they think it’s funny?

Because there’s nothing else to do?

Because they don’t understand what their actions can do?

Because they are insecure?

Because they are sensitive themselves?

Because they think putting someone else down will bring them up?

Because it’s a natural reflex?

Because they can?

Because they don’t know they are being mean?

Because they don’t mean to?

Because is just an excuse.

But there’s no excuse for being mean to another person.

So then why are people mean?
